OAKLAND, Calif. --

A bedside vigil has entered its second weekend for the 13-year-old girl who was declared brain-dead after undergoing a tonsillectomy at Children's Hospital Oakland.

An independent doctor, approved by the family of Jahi McMath and the hospital, will perform a brain examination on Monday.

A judge ruled in the family's favor on Friday, rejecting the argument from Children's Hospital that the facility had no duty to continue medical intervention.

The 13-year-old will be kept on a ventilator at least through the weekend following the judge's ruling.

ABC7's Dan Ashley spoke to Jahi's mother for a one-on-one interview you'll see only on ABC7 News.

"But I'm grateful just to have those three more days with her," said Nailah Winkfield. "But it is hard because I feel like I'm just on borrowed time with my daughter. I will fight for my daughter until I can't fight anymore and I don't know when a mother loses a fight for her children."
